The jobs market is ‘strong’ in Spalding

Job hunters are finding a host of opportunities in Spalding with wide ranging posts on offer.

News of the buoyant jobs market coincides with a small rise in the number of people on benefits.

Jonathan Beech, an employer relations lead with the Department for Work and Pensions, said: “The jobs market in the Spalding area is really strong at the moment. The Jobcentre has been handling a wide range of vacancies including retail, factory, administration and skilled construction.

“M&S have been interviewing in Spalding Jobcentre for their new Simply Food store in Bourne.”

South Holland’s claimant count was up by 5 to 165 in October, compared to the same month last year, while nationally unemployment is at a 40 year low.
